The head-to-head between NL West rivals began on a low-scoring note when the Diamondbacks recorded single runs in the seventh and eighth innings to prevail 4-2 in what had begun as a stellar pitchers' duel between San Francisco's Logan Webb and Arizona's Ryne Nelson. Gallen has gotten a decision in 14 of his 17 starts, including a loss his last time out in a 7-3 road defeat against the Chicago White Sox in which he allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings. A 10th loss Tuesday not only would see the right-hander join Antonio Senzatela of the Colorado Rockies and Mitch Keller of the Pittsburgh Pirates as baseball's lone double-figure losers so far this season, but also would equal his career high, set in his 4-10 campaign in 2021.

One pitch after Nelson was pulled in the seventh after exceeding his pitch count, Tyler Fitzgerald sent a shot to the warning track in center — just past a diving Thomas — to score two runs and tie it at 2. The Diamondbacks answered with a run in the seventh on Geraldo Perdomo's bloop single to score Thomas.

The fan interference call was reversed, but the fan in question was still escorted out of the stadium.

Alek Thomas had three hits and scored twice, including the go-ahead run on a Geraldo Perdomo single in the seventh inning, and the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the San Francisco Giants 4-2 in the opener of a four-game series on Monday in Phoenix. After a two-run double by Tyler Fitzgerald drew the Giants even at 2-2 in the top of the seventh, the Diamondbacks pushed across the eventual difference-maker in the bottom of the inning against San Francisco ace Logan Webb.

The Giants and Diamondbacks both stumbled into their four-game set against one another at Chase Field. San Francisco had just lost two of three to the Chicago White Sox; Arizona had just been swept by the Miami Marlins — the same Miami Marlins who just swept the Giants at Oracle Park. By the end of Monday night, one of these struggling teams would have another win of their docket.

The San Francisco Giants may end up being one of the luckiest teams of the year, as they are the benefactors of a massive mistake by the Boston Red Sox. Bleacher Report's Tim Kelly recently ranked the "biggest fails" of the 2025 MLB season so far, and the Red Sox mismanaging the Rafael Devers situation ended up taking the crown.

The Giants are already missing their starting third baseman. The team announced on Monday afternoon that they placed infielder Casey Schmitt on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 27) with left hand inflammation. In a corresponding move, the Giants recalled infielder Tyler Fitzgerald from Triple-A Sacramento a week after optioning him. “It's unfortunate, but you go through these type of things,” said manager Bob Melvin.

As the San Francisco Giants continue to battle in the National League West, some help might be on the way soon. The Giants have exceeded all expectations at this point in the season, with the team over .500 and very much in contention for a playoff spot in the National League. With how good so many teams are in the league, every win feels important, and San Francisco has slipped a bit after a bad week against some poor opponents. While the addition of Rafael Devers has made this lineup look a lot better for San Francisco, they have been without their star third baseman Matt Chapman since the early part of June with a hand injury.

The Boston Red Sox traded away one of the best sluggers in all of baseball recently when they sent Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. The move came as a shock and since then reports have surfaced shedding some light on things going on behind the scenes in Boston. Publicly, everyone knew about the refusal to play first base by Devers. One rumor that picked up steam was that it was said that the Giants were frustrated with chief baseball officer Craig Breslow's asking price and went over his head and worked direction with principal owner John Henry to get a deal done.

The San Francisco Giants have had a rough week, to say the least. Before that, they were swept in a three-game set by the Miami Marlins. The Marlins have been better than expected, but with the expectations the Giants have garnered throughout the season, Miami is not the sort of team to be swept by. Now, San Francisco has lost five of their last six and are a half game behind the San Diego Padres for second place in the National League West.

The Diamondbacks decided they needed veteran help at catcher with Gabriel Moreno out due to injury. James McCann has filled the void.

It sounds like Boston Red Sox fans are going to have a chance to see one of the team's big additions as soon as Monday night. Boston will begin a series against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night and before the first game of the set, the team announced that it is activating newly-acquired flamethrower Jordan Hicks off of the Injured List and sending Zack Kelly down to the minors to make room on the roster. "To make room, Boston optioned RHP Zack Kelly to Triple-A Worcester."

The San Francisco Giants have found themselves in the middle of an ultra-competitive National League playoff race. Seven teams have a better record than San Francisco, and seven teams are worse. Variance and sequencing haven't been kind to the Giants. San Francisco is 4-8 since Devers' debut on June 17.
